Wednesday July 17th: Howie's Field of Dreams

The crack of baseball bats can be heard all around the state this time of year. Thanks to one Rochester man, the great American past time is being enjoyed by a whole new team of kids at Howie's Field of Dreams.

He was the Mount Washington Observatory Director for 35 years and he is called a meteorological legend. From scenic vistas extending for miles to below zero temps with 100 mile per hour winds, Ken Rancourt has seen it all. Now he's retiring and hanging up his hiking boots. Amy Coveno trekked up the mountain to meet the man who monitored the forces of Mother Nature as he says his farewell.
